DE202005019436U1 - Handle for e.g. pipe, has rectangular recess in which leaf spring is locked using fastening unit, where tubes are surrounded by casing having ventilation openings to discharge and suck air, and casing is made up of plastics or rubber - Google Patents

Abstract

The handle has a tube (2) made of a corrosion protective steel that is pushed into another tube (1) made of corrosion protective hardened steel, where the tube (2) has a closed and a rectangular recess (6) in which a leaf spring (3) is locked using a fastening unit. The tubes (1, 2) are surrounded by a casing having ventilation openings to discharge and suck air, where the casing is made up of plastics or rubber.

Description

The The invention relates to a handle for attachment preferably a pipe or on a rod, assembled and disassembled or also stuck, with the same time to hold the pipe or the Bar the hand and forearm muscles can be exercised after the preamble of claim 1.

A Use is conceivable in commodities the parts such. B. pipes or bars own to the objects to operate or guide on which the invention plugged or mounted laterally comprehensive can be, such as on sports equipment, fitness equipment, handlebars or like.

Handles more usual Design have no possibility to hold the hand and forearm muscles simultaneously to hold one Tube or rod to train.

Common muscle trainers have either two handles that with a tortuous stainless steel spring are connected as energy storage, or they are two of each other sliding handle parts composed with several helical springs are connected, or they consist of a handle of compressible Plastic or foam, or they are built differently.

This Problem is with the protection claim 1 and in the following protection claims solved mentioned features.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 to 2 explained.

in the Individuals represent:

1 : Longitudinal section A - A

2 : Section B - B

The invention consists of a handle which is composed as follows:
The innermost component of the invention is a tube ( 1 ), Inner diameter, length, thickness as required, a tube of particularly corrosion-protected, hardened steel or the like is advantageous, in order to prevent the adhesive wear of the material listed below (US Pat. 3 ), as could it from newer materials such. As carbon, carbon fibers or the like exist.

On the pipe ( 1 ) is another pipe ( 2 ), advantageously made of steel, light metal or the like, it could also consist of newer materials such as carbon, carbon fibers or the like. The materials of pipe ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) can also be homogeneous together. The one end of pipe ( 2 ) is advantageously closed and optionally has a possibility for receiving a loop. The pipe ( 2 ) has a rectangular recess ( 6 ).

Inside the recess of pipe ( 2 ) is on the pipe ( 1 ) a piece of spring leaf ( 3 ) as force storage, convexly bent, locked with suitable fasteners so that it is free in the recess of pipe during compression or clamping by the user and during release and relaxation at one end and on its longitudinal sides 2 ), and that twisting to the side is avoided. Advantageously, here is a steel spring or the like, as could the energy storage of newer materials such. As carbon, carbon fibers or the like, wherein the strength of the material (eg spring force) can be chosen differently according to the needs of the user.

The pipes ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) including the material ( 3 ) are covered by a wrapper ( 4 ), consisting of a fabric of the materials required for this purpose, wherein a tearing of this envelope ( 4 ) in the area of the material ( 3 ) must be avoided. This enclosure is advantageously welded around, with one opening at one end, breathable, waterproof, easy to clean, ergonomically cuddly to put on the user's fingers, with enough small vents to escape and suck in air, and even to dry out. The cover can be made of different materials, conceivable plastics, rubber or newer materials. A loop may be made of the same or similar material at one outer end of the tube ( 2 ) be secured by suitable means.

The handle according to the invention is plugged onto any existing pipe or any existing rod which as grip holder the NEN, and whereupon the handle according to the invention locked by suitable means and from which it can be disassembled again. The grip is used to train the muscles so that it is grasped by one hand with the fingers compressing the force accumulator against the palm of the hand and releasing it.

A Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the protection claim 2 shown. The handle according to the invention is constructed in two parts, the two parts on one longitudinal side with a suitable hinge or other joint are movably connected and see on the opposite side a device for opening and Shut down and for fixing the handle is located. This allows the muscle trainer, for example easily e.g. mantiert in the middle of the tube of a commodity and removed after use and taken away on the move.

A Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is claimed 3 described. Here the handle can be fixed with suitable means locked on an existing pipe or rod and not just dismantled again.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is shown in the protection claim 4. The handle according to the invention is not attached to an existing tube but serves alone as a muscle trainer where the tube ( 2 ) closed on both sides and can be enclosed on all sides by the wrapper.

An additional application in claim 5 is conceivable, wherein the handle according to the invention on each different heavy rods ( 5 ) is preferably inserted and locked in steel or other materials in order to address even more muscles through the use of gravity while exercising.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is shown in the protection claim 6 and 7, wherein the envelope ( 4 ) has a three-sided circulating small zipper or Velcro closure, so that the user if necessary, the leaf spring ( 3 ) can easily exchange for another with changed spring force.

commercial the invention can be used as follows: The assembly is conceivable the grip on sports equipment with handles, e.g. Nordic walking poles, ski poles, or on commodities with pipes like fitness equipment, Machines for muscle training, Dumbbells, Crosstrainers, Exercise bikes, Walking sticks, Boat paddles, Umbrellas, Bicycle handlebars, Shopping trolleys, as well as in the rehabilitation area at hospital casings, Triangle holding frame over Hospital beds, intended for Persons lacking sufficient grip.

one The advantages is that the user on both hands his hand and forearm muscles simultaneously with other activities can train and thereby saves time. It also increases the stress of additional Muscles metabolism and stimulates the brain.
